Customer Experience Lead

I am a customer-focused and results-driven sales professional who excels at building trusting relationships and delivering memorable service. I love helping customers solve their problems and product needs by selling and promoting high-quality, environmentally friendly, and responsibly sourced gear and apparel. I feel energized by working with the public, caring, compassionate, challenged, and creative; I thrive on the energy I put into each and every customer interaction. My breadth of experience is emblematic both of my deep-seated passion for driving sales, progress, and innovation, as well as my belief in sustainability as an invaluable element to the success of businesses that depend on the existence of public lands.
